Buying a home isn’t a small decision you make overnight.
Let us help you not only find a new house, but protect you and your assets to ensure you are doing what is best for you and your family. Below, please find a sampling of our initial process when working with someone looking to purchase a new home.
We run into clients all the time who wonder whether or not they really need to hire a buyer’s agent when buying a home.
Of course, the answer is no (you don’t NEED to), but if you want to find the best deal and the perfect home, the answer is a resounding yes! Allow us to guide you in the process, help you set a budget (and find many properties within that budget), and help you find the home of your dreams, regardless of which stage of your life you are in.
The Process
1 | Connect & Discuss Options
During our initial call or meeting we will have a comprehensive discussion on your goals and explain how we plan to represent and guide you. We will create your ultimate wish list that includes your likes, dislikes, and must-haves so we can begin narrowing down the homes on the market that fit your criteria.
2 | Financing
Budget discussion is an imperative part of your home search. Not only for what falls within your price range, but what you may need for any additional updates. We work with an esteemed network of brokers that specialize in loans and mortgages. We will help guide you through the process of getting pre-qualified for a loan so you can focus on searching for a home that fits both your criteria and price range.
3 | The Ultimate Search
We will send you top tier listings that meet your criteria and set up MLS alerts so new listings are sent straight to your inbox. We are available to discuss every option and are there for both virtual and in-person tours. The Ballesteros Group years of combined experience can help you narrow down your search and decide which home is the one!
4 | Write an Offer
We will work diligently with you to write a competitive offer, which is important in such an aggressive market. The Ballesteros Group are experts in comparative research and negotiations. We will ensure you are making a fair offer and can count on us to always do what's in your best interest.
Once you have an accepted offer, we'll arrange for inspections, appraisal, and mortgage approval. Not only is there negotiation needed on price, but also after inspections and appraisal. This may sound overwhelming, but we're here to make this process as easy as possible for you and are with you every step of the way.
5 | Close & Celebrate!
Congratulations! It's time to close on your dream home. On settlement day, the final paperwork is signed and the home is officially handed over to you. You'll receive the keys and you're officially a new homeowner! Our work with you doesn’t end there. The Ballesteros Group stands by you as you settle in and can assist you with recommendations for all of your needs including carpenter, landscaping, interior design, roofing, plumbing and more.
“It has been over a year since we purchased our home and The Ballesteros Group is still the first people I call when I need anything ranging from tree cutters to roofers. They still answer my phone calls with the same enthusiasm and passion as they did when were searching for a property and I always know their recommendations are vetted and trustworthy. I don’t know where we would be without the Ballesteros team!”
